Version confusion

[RFC1920]

FYI, the name of this project matches exactly the WRONG Nuget package. So, I search that name and found the other one. Similar but not the same.

Fortunately, having installed SuperSimpleTcp instead, all appears to be working.

Yeah, someone beat me to the punch on SimpleTcp.

Everything is working ok with my package?

By the way, hats off to you for having a reference to Jon Postel's work in your github username :) That guy was a legend.

[RFC1920]

So far so good. Thanks! I honestly wanted to use Watson but was running into that painful Newtonsoft conflict. After tearing things down and building them back up I might still have a chance. But, this library should suffice.

You could implement your own serializer methods and that would do it. I was thinking of adding custom serializer support in a future release.

Example in WatsonMessage.cs

        /// <summary>
        /// Message headers in byte-array form ready to send.
        /// </summary>
        [JsonIgnore]
        public byte[] HeaderBytes
        {
            get
            {
                string jsonStr = SerializationHelper.SerializeJson(this, false);
                byte[] jsonBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonStr);
                byte[] end = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("\r\n\r\n");
                byte[] final = WatsonCommon.AppendBytes(jsonBytes, end);
                return final;
            }
        }

If you change the SerializationHelper methods (you can use BSON, XML, whatever you like, as long as newline are encoded) then it should work
